Car Crash Kills 3 of Pope's Relatives

2 great-nephews and their mother die in Argentina accident

–
The Vatican says a road accident in Argentina has killed two young great-nephews of Pope Francis as well as their mother, the wife of the pope's nephew. Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said the accident occurred this morning in the area of Cordoba, Argentina. One great-nephew was 2, the other was 8 months; their father reportedly survived. "The pope was informed about the tragic accident," Lombardi said. "He is deeply pained." He added the pope asks "all who share in his grief to unite with him in prayer."

Very sudden the revelation about
nerve problems on the part of Francis. As sudden as the death of
Francis' distant nice and nephews. It's easy to sense a connection.
And it's not hard to suspect the connection.
Only a couple of days ago, Francis
was asked what he thought of the escalation of aggression by the U.S.
In Iraq, in response to ISIS. Francis, basically, skirted the
question. And the way he skirted it sounds ultimately unbecoming of
someone who presents himself as a man of God. He stated only that,
“it is licit to stop the unjust aggressor”. He makes a point of
clarifying that he doesn't state how to stop them. But it should
also be noticed that he does not specify who the “unjust aggressor”
is, and “licit” means legal in the eyes of civil law, not
approved of by God! Francis also said that aggression should be
based on the approval of the UN. Tellingly, he did not say the
decision should be based on God's precepts.
It's not surprising that the
Catholic Church has made itself a fundamental player in international
affairs. There is nothing that has taken place in “government”
in at least Europe in the past more than 1000 years that the Church
has not intruded upon, and manipulated to personal profit of the
Church and its cronies. A large part of that is to give the
equivalent of “blessings” to wars profiting the capitalist rich
or the monarchies and denunciations of movements like Socialism that
threaten the corporations being an unacknowledged branch of
“government”. The rectory behind St Patrick's Cathedral in New
York has been known as “the powerhouse” since the 1800's.
Reactions to this have molded things like the Reformation and the
establishment of the Church of England. More recently, the Church
has actually sinned against God by excommunicating clergy who denied
or even just questioned the “official story” of the “Holocaust”.
Excommunication is appropriate only for denying the laws set down by
Christ, not for denying the existence of a claimed historical event!
Essentially, this act placed those promoting the story of the
“Holocaust” at least at the level of God, if not higher than Him!
Add to that that the Church refuses to excommunicate politicians who
accept abortion.
And, even in more modest levels,
how many know that Catholicism defines telling the truth, under
certain circumstances, as a form of lying? If some rich person is
working to fabricate a favorable image of themselves so they can
swindle a bunch of the “rank and file” and someone reveals ugly
truths about the rich person that can contaminate the fraudulent
squeaky clean image they are working toward, it is called
“detraction”, and, while it is telling the truth, the Church says
you have sinned!
Even the adopting of the rules of
a “just war” reveal the Church straying from God. There is no
reason acceptable to God for the truly decent to engage in war of any
kind. Even defense cannot be raised since it is true, although so
very, very few have actually demonstrated it, that, if you are truly
decent, God will protect you from all aggression.
To be sure, the Church has engaged
in this connivery for some time now, but it seems to have kicked into
high gear in the recent past. Questions about John Paul I dying
after only one month don't seem necessarily to have been resolved.
John Paul II was a “spook” for the CIA, seeking the overthrow of
Poland. Look up “Operation Cappuccino”, which evidently involved
the Church, with John Paul II as Polish go between, smuggling arms,
explosives and money, disguised as “printing equipment” into
Poland, to carry out sabotage and destabilization operations that the
corrupt “news” media will never reveal!
A pope dies after only a month.
The first non Italian pope in centuries is elected. The first pope
in centuries resigns rather than dies in office. A pope predicts his
death. It can be the definition of gullibility not to see something
unusual going on.
It should be mentioned, it is
obvious the Church is only an organization, a construct of men and,
therefore, is driven by what they bring to it, even if it is
cravenness and malignance. This comment is not to be taken as
acceptance of the insistences of those who refuse to accept the
presence of God.
